The James Taylor Signature Models

All models are now sold out

A Limited Edition Series

In 2002, during his 25th year as a luthier, Jim collaborated with James Taylor
on the specification of a limited edition series of
James Taylor Signature Model Olson Guitars

Each JT Signature Model guitar bears a label personally signed by both
James Taylor and Jim Olson, visible through the soundhole. Inside, the
neck head block is laser-engraved with the "James Taylor Signature Model"
designation, in addition to the serial number and year of construction.

Jim will craft a total of 100 JT models: 80 "Standard" JT models,
and 10 each of two "Special Edition" JT models that supplement the standard
model with special appointments and woods (a Special Edition Model is
pictured above). The Standard JT model is
available for $15,000. Special Edition models command higher prices; contact
Jim directly for further information.
